Hi guys, I am almost two weeks from surgery and I'm getting pretty nervous and excited!!! Can you please tell me how long it took you to recover from your surgery? I have two weeks off work, is this enough???

Hello,

I had my surgery(vsg) on 9/14 I felt a little gas pain for about four days after surgery, after that I felt completely fine. Some soreness where the incisions are but other than that I feel great. Going into surgery I was very nervous especially after heparin some of the horror stories on here but don't worry you will be fine. Good luck!!

I returned to work one week from the day of my surgery (sleeved on 9/21/2015). But I also sit at a desk for the marjority of my work hours. I felt fine within a week, I think two weeks is a good set of time. Still working on the horrible feeling of GERD, but no pain for the surgery. But it all depends of you, my mother was unable to return to work with two after her sleeve surgery.

I went back to work a week post op. I was tired still, but in no pain. I tend to bounce back really fast, so I pretty much expected to recover fast... which I think helped.

I returned one week exactly after surgery but I am sitting at desk most of the time. I felt gas pains for 5-6 days but other that, it was a breeze. Good luck ????

It depends. I am retired but honestly after a week at home I was bored silly. If I was working I could easily have returned to work after a week . However I had no issues with gas or nausea and walking was easy for me from day one.

I had a rough recovery, but I was back at work on day 11.
